Thanks everyone for participating - almost 900 votes, so I think it gives a reasonable indication of how people feel. Will be very interesting to see how the arbitration goes.

Short term profits may cost the airline dearly in future.

I believe that we should keep all Australian products in Australia.

Big mistake to ever sell Qantas in the first place. It has to compete with government owned and subsidised airlines like Emirates and Qatar. The level playing does not exist outside of the MCG.

Maybe the highest paid people in Qantas should take a big pay cut.

Our pilots are some of the highest paid in the world plus perks. Is it a case of out pricing the company that employs them. You are asking for restrictions on this company, yet we don't demand the same restrictions on other Australian companies when they do the same.

Your question implies that outsourcing is cheaper and thus if the "Australians" are willing to do the same work for less pay then there would be no need to outsource.

Corruption is everywhere, but in Australia at least we know the job workers are being paid for will be done right.

Wrong question really! Should be - do you want cheap flights and outsource the jobs or do you want to pay a premium for the same flight to keep jobs in Oz and that will mean not choosing other low cost airlines to fly on as Qantas cannot be competitive if you do!

Simplistic question - if it means the differance between the company remaining in operation or being broken up closinglike Ansett what's your answer then?
